Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Children get a very good start to their time in school due to good provision in the Nursery and teaching that is sometimes outstanding in the Reception class.

Pupils make good progress in Key Stage 1 and enter Year 3 with standards that are above average overall due to teaching that is at least good and sometimes better. Pupils make good, and sometimes better, progress across Key Stage 2 as teaching accelerates their progress particularly in Year 6. Consequently, pupils leave with standards that are well above average.

Pupils who are disabled or have special educational needs also make better than expected progress as the school is very e...ffective at supporting pupils with specific needs. Teaching has improved across the school and is now good with some that is outstanding. Teachers' very effective questioning promotes pupils' speaking and listening skills and this accelerates pupils' progress.

Pupils' behaviour is outstanding as they work and play exceptionally well together. They respond well to their teachers in and out of lessons and are very keen to learn. They have an excellent understanding of how to keep safe.

The headteacher provides inspirational and visionary leadership. She is ably supported by a strong leadership team and a very effective and supportive deputy headteacher. They have been instrumental in driving improvement across the school.

Governors are very knowledgeable and provide strong support and challenge. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Although progress in writing is inconsistent at Key Stage 2, it is improving .Further time is needed to embed the good practice used in marking at Key Stage 1.

Teaching is not yet consistently outstanding. The structure of lessons does not sufficiently accelerate progress for all pupils.
